Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

The use of the term "terrorist" to describe vandalists is disgusting and devalues the victims of actual terrorists.

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Especially since "terrorist" is meant to be someone who causes terror to the general public. Put bluntly, you have to do something that makes people feel unsafe or that they could be in direct danger from your actions....

But cutting down a camera doesn't put the general public at risk. No one (rationally) is at fear that a camera being removed will put them in harms way.
